The content within the books is arranged to reflect the transition of youngsters into adulthood in society, highlighting the issue of the generation gap in contemporary Thai society and exploring how it is influenced by different social contexts. These books are designed to be read from either side and can accommodate two readers simultaneously. The type, illustrations, and layout of each book play a crucial role in capturing the essence of a specific time period, allowing the audience to journey back in time and explore hidden narratives on a profound level.
